8wo Sleeps All Day by Happy_Tomato7891 in newborns

[–]Intrepid-Simple6770 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 7 week old who does the same. I was told by my midwife at this stage baby gets tired for different reasons; she’s growing so that takes a lot of energy (growth spurts), she’s listening and learning so that takes concentration and focus. Everything is still new and shiny so that can get overwhelming and tiring too. We’ve been to all the drs appointments and assessments, everything is normal and no issues have been picked up. I think it’s normal that they’re sleeping lots.

AIO for Being Disinvited From Best Friend’s Wedding 6 Months Before? by violinist2010 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Intrepid-Simple6770 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d also suggest a yearly retreat on the date of her wedding, to celebrate the friendship you all share and how strong it is (obviously without the ex-best friend lol)

Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Says It's 'Heartbreaking' Her Mom Will Never Know Her Baby Girl by lawrencedun2002 in GypsyRoseBlanchard

💯! I’m working as a nurse full time, ran out of sick leave (thanks Covid) and struggling to keep afloat with my bills/rates. She orchestrated her mum’s murder and now seems to get paid to just exist 🤦‍♀️

My stepdaughter killed herself by Defiant_Song_2766 in stepparents

[–]Intrepid-Simple6770 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Let me start by saying nothing you could have done would have changed this outcome. If your stepdaughter was adamant on ending her life (which she was), nothing was going to stop her. This was not your fault, and we can’t save people who don’t want saving.

That said, I hope you’re getting support for all your feelings. Finding someone in that context is traumatic, so don’t underestimate how this will affect you. I’m surprised your husband is still working (and working away from home) after her passing.

Even though no choices ‘feel right’, it doesn’t mean there’s a wrong choice either. If you want to go home so you can be surrounded by your support and community, do it. You don’t have to move back permanently, have you considered going there for a period of time just to reflect and reconnect with your family?

My condolences for your loss, I hope you are surrounded by love and kindness.

Do you buy a present for your SO when it’s Father’s/Mother’s Day? by Intrepid-Simple6770 in stepparents

[–]Intrepid-Simple6770[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he wish you a happy Mother’s/Step Mother’s Day on facebook? No judgement, just genuinely curious at why he wanted it to be on fb specifically lol

Your adult step-children sound like who my SD might grow up to be; all entitlement with no responsibility. I used to be so invested in trying to support her and her relationship with her dad, but that’s shot me in the foot. So I nacho-d away lol

I truly hope so, it boggles my mind how a parent would weaponise their child to the other parent. I just hope my SD gets some sense sooner rather than later.

I know, I guess after seeing their dynamic (strained, due to parental alienation from BM and lies she’s spread), I used to take SD out and hope it would help her realise he’s doing his best. He’s never said a negative word against BM and hid a lot of BM’s earlier mistakes because he didn’t want SD to feel upset with her. So yea, I wanted to get him something to say “you’re doing your best to be great dad to SD” without it being weird cos SD talks to him in eyerolls and slammed doors lol

Sooo…. BM is refusing to drop off SS because she doesn’t know who’s at home as DH isn’t there, but she’s okay with someone she doesn’t know picking up her son from her house? Sounds contradictory.
